[Promotional Flyer for Diane Arbus's Portfolio "A Box of Ten Photographs"]

In 1970 Diane Arbus began work on one of the treasures of post-war American art, a limited-edition portfolio entitled A box of ten photographs. As part of the marketing process she created a promotional flyer including two 35mm contact strips on photographic paper representing each of the prints. These strips were attached to a sheet of paper with a photocopied, typewritten text by Arbus:
"…there is a portfolio of ten photographs by Diane Arbus dating from nineteen sixty-two to nineteen seventy in an edition of fifty, printed, signed, numbered, annotated by the photographer, sixteen by twenty inches in a nearly invisible box which is also a frame, designed by Marvin Israel. Available from Diane Arbus, four sixty-three West Street, New York City, for one thousand dollars."
This particular flyer includes two strips [strip 2, frames 7–11] of the same five prints rather than one strip of each representing all ten prints.
